Hey, where's the love for Danny Crane?

I don't know. It's one of my favorites, and I'm neither female nor gay.

Really? That would seem to stand out like a sore thumb. Isn't the British for "respiratory" something like [,r\Es.p@'r\e?@.r\i]?
> He's still TOTALLY hot!
Yeah - don't see it. Very common reaction; can't dispute that many many women find him hot. But I totally don't understand it. Of course, I also thought Parker Stevenson was the better looking Hardy Boy, so clearly my taste in men is different from that of mainstream American women. Shock! :) -- Mark J. Reed <markjreed@...>
